NotSoBigBen Posted November 19, 2016 Share If you have a pool check it in there or run some water in the bath ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good ride like that often seats the tires nicely.Also try over inflating a bit and reducing the pressure a couple times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorted it out by putting in a generous amount of sealant, over inflating to about 3.5 bar and then shaking, rotating and spinning the wheel for a good 5 minutes. I especially shook the wheel so that sealant was hitting the rim tape and sidewalls. You definitely need to take the bike for a decent ride too to have the wheels settle.

bikebloke Posted November 19, 2016 Share I have racing ralphsthey also where very leaky with small pinholes in sidewallthey drive me nuts but they ride all day fine at whatever pressure (usually for a few days) over inflating sorted it out but they still go softer over a week or two so there is still a tiny leak somewhere (or maybe everywhere) maybe I should stick more sealent in Edited November 19, 2016 by bikebloke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 19, 2016 Share It's the liteskin casing, in my opinion. Only thing you can do is carry on pumping the sealant in until all the pinholes are filled. By then you'll probably have a tire as heavy as the normal snakeskin, which you should have bought to begin with. madbradd, kvdp, Capricorn and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 19, 2016 Share Also check your valve to see if it's sealing properly. And redo your rim tape, if you haven't already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryno. Posted November 19, 2016 Share Rocket Rons' and Racing Ralphs' sidewalls are very porous so use more sealant and place the tyre on it side on a open bucket so the sealant can seal the sidewalls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest @BAZA Posted November 19, 2016 Share ok striped the hub and cluster got wheel submerged in pool 10min no bubbles will try new tap and extra sealent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy Posted November 19, 2016 Share It can take a few days but do the following: Check valve and tape and add sealant. Pump tyres, but not to hard. If you blow it off the rim you will be deaf for a while, spend days wiping sealant off ceilings and walls and have destroyed the bead for ever. Slosh the sealant arount and balance the wheel horizontally on a cardboard box so the sealant pools along the sidewalls. Periodically slosh and turn the wheel around so that both sidewalls get a chance to seal. It will eventually seal.

Karman de Lange Posted November 19, 2016 Share What worked for me was to over inflate tyre to 3.5 -4 bar. Then use the stans technique of rolling ture about and then leaving flat for 5 min or so on each side. The over inflation forces sealant into the tiny holes that dont for some reason get sealed otherwise. Just remeber to deflate before riding again :-) I did this after 3 weeks of riding and loosing half pressure during the ride and now its fine for weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony datoy Posted November 19, 2016 Share I pump mine around 2bar and then bounce them around for a few minutes. I repeat throughout the day, I've got thunderburts that hang in the garage for weeks before they need to be pumped.T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest @BAZA Posted November 19, 2016 Share are the pin holes on Ralph's a design fault that can be taken up with the supplier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissVan Posted November 19, 2016 Share Racing ralph and rocket rons always do this for the first few weeks, depending on how much u ride....thereafter they will seal like normal. Just make sure you put in enough sealant and be patient in the beginning. Last year when i put in new stans sealant my rocket runs took about a week to stop going down significantly over night. I have not replaced the sealant since then (lazy arse i know) but have not ridden my mtb for about 3 or 4 months now and the tyres have only gone down slightly...despite the sealant having turning to goo and snot asteroids long ago.
